Colorado outrighted Kaiser to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Kaiser was designated for assignment by the Rockies this past Sunday and passed through waivers unclaimed. The 26-year-old infielder had a brief stay in the majors last month and went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in three games.

The Rockies selected Kaiser's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday. He'll start at shortstop and bat ninth in the Rockies' series opener in Cincinnati.
The 26-year-old will reach the big leagues for the first time in his career, joining the Rockies' 26-man active roster to provide added depth in the infield while shortstop Ezequiel Tovar (personal) is on the paternity list. Colorado will most likely send Kaiser back to Triple-A on Friday, when Tovar presumably rejoins the team for the start of a homestand.
